Well, it started out as a Disney trip planning/report blog. Then it became primarily Disney memories, solo trip reports, and occasionally cranky opinions. P.S. No one reads this blog anyway. What are you doing here?

We interrupt our weekly recap of the 2012 Food and Wine booths for a very special Earl of Sandwich review....

You guys may remember my first Earl of Sandwich review of the Full Montagu and the Original 1762 (and the Coronet Cakes): here. Well when Sarah of the Eating WDW blog started participating in the Eat Each Sandwich challenge, I knew I had to join in as well! For links to the rest of my reviews, scroll down!

It was my birthday recently and thanks to a tip from a Disney blogger, I had signed up for the EoS newsletter just in time for my coupon for a free birthday sandwich! I also got a coupon for a free triple chocolate brownie (which hasn't changed since my last review) just for signing up.

Instead, I ordered the Pastrami Reuben on wheat. The sandwich is new and not listed on the website yet. Of course it features a nice amount of pastrami (good texture, decent flavor) and sauerkraut (nice texture, no flavor but that's fine by me).

There was also definitely mustard and very light Thousand Island dressing which I appreciated since this EoS has a history of over-dressing its sandwiches. The lighter dressing really made the sandwich more balanced.

As usual with Earl, I wish the flavors popped just a LITTLE bit more, but overall, this guy is a winner.

Ahhhh, the Cheese booth. This was one of the last ones we hit. When we got there, the fondue wasn't ready. It was our last time at the festival and I HAD to try everything! One of the cast members told me that she'd come find me when it was there. We hung around and enjoyed the rest of the offerings. I checked back in twice and finally the fondue was ready! Check back in next week to find out whether it was worth the waitThis is the other offering we had first: the Trio of Artisan Cheese

This one was my FAVORITE. Beecher's Flagship Reserve cheddar with a drizzle of honey. Salty and sweet. YUM.

The La Bonne Vie Goat Brie with (cherry?) chutney was okay.

The Rogue River Creamery Echo Mountain Blue Cheese with a toasted cracker was also pretty good.

Continuing on in our 2012 tour of the Food and Wine Booths, the Argentina booth had some yummy offerings. I would have had more of both! But the skewer was my favorite (and I'm not even super into beef). The texture was good, I loved the chimichurri sauce, and the boniato puree was smooth and creamy.

Returning to my October 2012 Food and Wine/Halloween trip, today we are visiting the Caribbean booth! Neither of the offerings were particularly mind-blowing to us but they weren't terrible either. Definitely don't need to repeat these though.
